The Nicaraguan revolution of 1978 and the subsequent violence
engulfing the Central American states, causes mass migration of
Latin American persons seeking territorial asylum. "Latin American
States and Political RefugeeS" focuses on the questions surrounding
this new problem of refugees. Yundt uses regime analysis, a method
whereby principles, norms, and social institutions are studied to
identify the general obligations due refugees. The central concern
of this study is whether the regional rules, norms, procedures and
social institutions established by the Latin American states in
governing political refugees, are compatible with or dissimilar to
those of the established United Nations refugees regime. This
scholarly written and well researched book will appeal to students
and scholars of international organizations, international refugee
and human rights law, as well as all the social and political
sciences.
Yundt begins his study with an explanation of the meaning of
'regime'; What is a regime analysis? This book examines the history
and current status of colonization and immigration legislation in
Central and South America. Further chapters discuss the role of
international organizations, including the League of Nations and
the organization of American states, in providing international
legal protection to refugees. The study also explores the global
refugee regime; its history and how it relates to the
inter-American system.
